Obituary for Irene Clarke
Irene Margaret Clarke went home to Heaven on December 17, 2020, at the age of 71.
Irene was an extraordinary woman who wore many hats. While on earth, she was a child of faith, a devoted daughter, a caring sister, a forgiving wife, an inspirational mother, a loving grandmother, and the perfect friend. Irene was also a great painter, a classic movie buff, a compassionate animal lover, an astounding dog whisperer, and an avid bird feeder. She was also known to be a baking master, a sewing perfectionist, a word search guru, and the proudest grandmother of three grandchildren she loved more than life itself.
Irene Margaret, also known as Renie, Ms. Irene, Aunt Renie, Greatest Gram Ever, and Best Mom in the Whole Wide World, was born on July 19, 1949, in Baltimore, Maryland. She was greeted in Heaven by her parents Anna Mae and John Thomas Clarke, sisters Patsy Ann and Marilyn Florence, and her devoted basset hound Bessie. Her memory is lived on by her proud daughter and son-in-law Chelsea Christine and Robert Montero, her adoring grandchildren Matthew John, Michael Robert, and Maeghan Irene, along with her favorite niece Deborah Jenkins.

"Nobody else held us so tight,
Or made us feel so right,
No one's eyes shined so bright with love,
As our mom and gram who is now high above."
